SAF's Naval Diving Unit is one tough outfit‎

It is known as one of the toughest units in the Singapore Armed Forces. Yet some 80 percent of what's described as trainee 'tadpoles' make the cut as combat divers of the elite Naval Diving Unit or NDU.

If you guys have doubts about malays not being super fit to be in an elite unit, then you should take a look at Singapore's Home Team units such as Police's S.T.A.R and Security Command, Police Coast Guards's S.T.S, Prison's S.P.E.A.R and SCDF's D.A.R.T. These elite units have malays as their members. I known some of them. In my opinion, SAF just lose out not having these aspiring malay guys as part of their team.

Actually the spot light should be on SWG and not NDU. Just like the SOF and SOTF.

There is SOF in Commando unit.

There is SWG in Diver unit.

@Raja00719 why must the government be scared? we are ready to sacrifice our lives for the people and country. i am a malay btw, still a student but i aspire to be i the special forces one day

@lionhead0602 I don't see any malay pilot in the RSAF

@up2wind A bit of insider information, actually SWG is not very well respected in SF circles. I believe NDU is featured here because it involves NSF's, not career soldiers.

@Raja00719 No, just see Guards conversion course videos, there are malays.

[Raja00719]

PAP goverment scared malay guys to be in SAF.

@cyberpioneertv. suggest you guys make a show about commando selection course or selection training and ranger course so that public will have a better understanding of SAF commandos. even some of my friends compare US military to SAF commandos because there are very very few videos that feature our commandos. peace:D

@SignoroIncognito awww dude congrats!! but right nw obviously no one here really gives a shit......so stop comparing which country's special forces unit is better then the other, we're still young so we're not that high up or experienced yet, if u wanna compare go compare with the SEAL team or SAS dude, they would eat ure special forces, for breakfast, 2nd breakfast, lunch (tea for the brits) dinner and supper, maybe even second supper, i dunno up to them...

@mamypokopants For your info, my company have a Malay/Muslim and i am from CDO. So i don't know where you get this policy from, maybe its your way of trolling. You know, speaking without any real research and information will get you in trouble.
